Any idea of the fee?

[Gareth]

It was not disclosed to me on taking the statement so I do not know.

Good luck to Bray on trying to get their share.

I presume the protocol in these situations is that the selling club gets the full amount and then squares off the previous club(s)?

The words "blood", "stone" and "harder" immediately spring to mind.

[Tenderloins]

How much have shels made now in their firesale?

[drummerboy]

It will be interesting to see how all the ex-Shels players do across channel. Byrne has been put forward by many people as good enough for international football. If he scores regularly for Cardiff in the championship, will it warrant a call-up.

I would think Shels will have to win something (could be waiting a while for that) & then the FAI pass that money onto Bray directly. This seems to have been the protocol previously.

:rolleyes:

Course it will. It's, harrumph, 'cross-Channel'.

[Student Mullet]

Any idea of the fee?Today's indo says 150,000 euro which is very good business by Shels, if true.

Makes no difference as Eire are the Eircom League of international football.

Irish Times say the same. Bray are due 40% of that. A lot less than most Shels fans thought

[tippex]

The star is reporting the fee to be €100,000 and bray to get €30,000 of this.

From the looks of things it doesnt look as if we may ever know how much he went for!

[drinkfeckarse]

Lucky to get a fee at all considering the debate as to whether he's a free agent or not due to his wages not being paid.

[lofty9]

Got a text from a mate in Cardiff and he says the papers there are reporting a 150K sterling fee for Byrne.

Given Bray are due a substancial cut of the fee Mr. Byrne wouldn't be announcing a smaller fee in the irish media so Shels can pocket some extra cash...?

:o

Another great bit of business by Ollie in turning down a bid 2 to 3 times higher last year that he was forced to accept from Cardiff.

No wonder Shels are in financial trouble with business acumen like that.

[superfrank]

Good luck to Jayo!!

im not one to EVER stick up for oillie

but it made total sense to hold on to him and sell him for a thrid what was offered in the summer, if he had left in the summer woudl they have won the league? i doubt it, in fact they may have missed uefa cup with drogs late charge, so they will probably still be financially better off selling him at the lower value and qualifying for the champions league and setanta,

it will all back fire if $hel$ are kicked out of the champions league and setanta

If you add the prize money Shels won this season on the back of Byrne's goals, your point becomes pointless. Keeping him was a good move, he scored bags of goals and helped them win the league.

oh yeah the prize money for the league as well as setanta and champions league

[Schumi]

For anyone else, you'd have to subtract the wages paid to him through the season but with Shels...

Exactly. By even selling Jason Byrne wage bill would be substancially reduced. He might have been on 10k a month which makes for expensive close season. Jason Byrne was injured for a lot of the last few months of the season...

Disagree, unless you prioritise and value winning one League title over the future of your club (are you Ollie?).

The marginal benefit still doesn't add up whatever way you look at it and we're not even factoring in the time value of money.

[ccfcgirl]

Jason Byrne will be a big loss to not alone Shelbourne but to the league .All the big names are leaving one by one .......Shame.

Last year's player of the year is still here. As is the previous winner.

[BohsPartisan]

Yeah if you look at some of the players going accross the pond, especially some of those going to Scotland, they are past their bessed and far from being the best players in the league. Keego, Molloy, Bobby Ryan...
